Claudio Elizalde
Claudio Elizalde
Level 15 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

The bulk of the details from this hand were relayed by the players at the table.

Connor Rash defended his big blind against Bing Li's under the gun open.

Heads up to a flop of 2♦3♠9♣ saw Rash check-raise and get called.

Both players checked the 7♦ turn.

When the Q♣ fell on the river, Rash went all in for over 120,000. Li made the call and Rash tabled 2♥3♥ for flopped two pair but he saw the bad news when Li turned up Q♠9♠ for rivered top two, sending Rash adruptly to the rail.

The board completed with the 2♥ and 3♠ and Mowery's jacked held for a near triple up, eliminating Rose.

Level 13 : Blinds 2,000/3,000, 3,000 ante

A short-stacked Dean Hutchison was all in preflop against the slightly covering stack of Charlie Cuff.

Dean Hutchison: K♣J♣ All in
Charlie Cuff: A♣A♦

The flop was clean for cuff as the dealer presented the 2♥8♥6♠ and when the 6♥ came off the deck, Hutchinson was already out of his chair with his backpack equipped when the meaningless Q♦ fell.

Evan Benton, the defending champion of this event, was heads up to a river reading 8♠4♠Q♥9♦9♠ and he placed a small bet of 6,000 on the river.

Hugo Fouchardiere responded for an all in that was effectively 43,000. Benton went into the tank, counting his stack twice before eventually making the call.

Fouchardiere tabled the Q♠10♠ for the rivered flush and Benton tabled his Q♦J♦ in defeat before congratulating his table mates on a good game.
